Mercy & Justice
God commands us to care for the poor and the oppressed in Scripture.
But our motivation is even deeper than a response to a command. We care about showing mercy to those in need because we recognise that we are no different, if not for the grace of Jesus Christ.
How we think about doing Mercy & Justice at RHC
In our local community, we…
We serve both through partnering with likeminded organisations, and also serving together as a body of believers.
We aim to build personal relationships, reflecting Christ’s pursuing love.
We aim to to support physical, relational, psychological & spiritual needs
In our own hearts, we...
As we extend mercy & grace to those in need, we recognise how much we need it ourselves.
For God’s glory, we go out to our local communities and help make a way for the gospel to go forth.
As God does His work of renewal in our city, we’re empowered to join in with our unique gifts & abilities, i.e. through ‘seed projects’.
